Note to self: next time I'm contemplating a 3-day road-trip while getting over a cold, think twice.

Actually, the tail-end of the cold was on the first day of driving up I-5; I felt awful that night, but afterwards was fine. On the way up I passed road-work that had traffic stopped for miles southbound, so I came home via the coast route - Highway 101 - which I haven't traveled in years. It took about 2 hours longer, but is a far more beautiful route - something I don't always care about, but it was lovely and relaxing. I saw in a pasture by the roadside - of all things - longhorn cattle... good LORD those horns on them are long! There was something very dinosaur-like about that kind of armament. The journey also included seeing formations of pelicans flying, and beautiful views of the ocean. Since I'm a lousy photographer - and my camera seems not to work anymore - I suppose I could troll around Google for royalty-free shots of Morro Bay that capture that amazing turqoise color of the ocean...

But I'd much rather just have dinner and go to bed.

Lots of exams to correct tomorrow. And I'm now WAY behind on my Real Work.

But I had a lovely time.
